Pro-Life License Plates Are Driving Me Crazy
There have reportedly been attempts to introduce alternative plates – including ones that read “Respect Choice” or “Trust Women. Respect choice” – but they’ve been nixed by the Republican-controlled state legislature.
Am I the only one who finds this absurd? As a person who is staunchly pro-choice, I have no problem with someone plastering the words “Choose Life” on his or her license plate. I would, however, have a big problem if I couldn’t do the same – only with my own beliefs. (Not that I’d feel the need to display my viewpoint like that in the first place, but that’s a whole other story.)
This is most definitely a free speech issue – not an abortion issue – as far as I’m concerned. And with $15 from each “Choose Life” plate going directly to a religious organization, the division between church and state is pretty much non-existent. Scary stuff, if you ask me…
